The Great Spirit, called Wakan Tanka among the Sioux [1] and Gitche Manitou in Algonquian, is a conception of universal spiritual force, or supreme being prevalent among some Native American and First Nation cultures.[2] According to Lakota activist Russell Means a better translation of Wakan Tanka is the Great Mystery.[3]
